When I was at UAMS, all my nurses were great. I had no complaints or issues at all. Courtney was great, Whitney was great, Suzette was great, and Katie was great. I mean, I had a great nursing staff, I had great everything. So I just wanted to say thank you to all of them

It is a very professional university and hospital and that is why I recommend it to any family member or any other person.

You all did really well. I enjoy working with you all and you all took good care of me. And I want to thank you all. All of the doctors and nurses are good. You all love taking care of your patients.

I feel like I was taken care of and felt care from the nurses and doctors.

In the 8 days I was hospitalized I have to say that the faculty from Dr’s all the way down to custodial have been absolutely 2nd to none. Every nurse I had (I saved their names because I intend to get them a thank you card for that floor) was so amazing and caring. I was floored as to how kind and caring they were and honestly I was saddened knowing I’d probably never see these angels ever again. I cannot say thank you enough, but UAMS…….you have the best staff ever. THANK YOU!

One of my nurses went as far as to Fluff my pillow. His name was Tanner. I just thought that was very kind. Eddy was great. He made me laugh  and had great conversation as well as being very helpful.
